Time 1h45m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
3 tablespoons dark rum or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract plus 2 1/2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup caramel apple dip (from 16-oz container)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Turn off oven. In food processor bowl with metal blade, place cooled coconut. Cover; process until ground. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat butter and 2/3 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Add egg yolks, rum and vanilla. On high speed, beat about 1 minute or until blended.
  • In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls. On ungreased nonstick (not insulated) cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart. Dip bottom of small glass into 1/4 cup sugar; press on cookies to make about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • Bake 10 to 11 minutes or just until edges begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • For each sandwich cookie, spread about 1 teaspoon of the caramel apple dip on bottom of 1 cookie, spreading to edge of cookie. Top with second cookie. Gently squeeze until filling oozes out a little around the side. Roll edges of cookies in ground coconut.

The cookies were a bit too crumbly. I would recommend chilling the dough before baking it.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out perfectly. They were soft and chewy with a gooey dulce de leche center. The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more salt to the dough.
